SCA: security update for github.com/rclone/rclone (GHSA-jfwf-28xr-xw6q)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440731

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage
 providers. Starting in version 1.48.0 and prior to version 1.73.5, the RC endpoint `operations/fsinfo` is
 exposed without `AuthRequired: true` and accepts attacker-controlled `fs` input. Because `rc.GetFs(...)`
 supports inline backend definitions, an unauthenticated attacker can instantiate an attacker-controlled
 backend on demand. For the WebDAV backend, `bearer_token_command` is executed during backend
 initialization, making single-request unauthenticated local command execution possible on reachable RC
 deployments without global HTTP authentication. Version 1.73.5 patches the issue. (CVE-2026-41179)

Solution

Update the github.com/rclone/rclone library and its related packages to version 1.73.5 or later.
